The number of guests in our remained fluid up to the time of the reservation, but Benihana was able to accommodate flawlessly. The service, food, and ambience was exactly what Benihana is famous for. We truly enjoyed our Birthday dinner!

I took my mother to have the best lasagna I've ever had. It was her 90th birthday. From the young man who seated us to the manager coming to wish mom a happy birthday all employees were great. Our server was so nice to my mom. She earned a big tip from me. Just an overall great experience!
